Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. — Psalm 97:12

Joy! Rejoicing! How could we not be happy when we think about God’s greatness and the grace he has given us to make us righteous? God is a holy and glorious king. He is eternal and fair. We, on the other hand, have problems, die, have limited time, and do bad things. Still, in his great mercy, he has made us righteous through the sacrifice of Jesus so that we can live with him forever. Our response must be praise!

Prayer

Holy and righteous Father, I give thanks for your grace and praise your name. You are more amazing than my mind can understand and more kind than I can grasp. So I praise you and hope that my life shows how much I appreciate everything you are and everything you’ve done for me. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
